It's a Public Holiday today and guess what I went to Skool, yes I know I am an idiot but it's that Damn Protestant work ethic.
Anyway it was because new computers were coming and cabling needed to be done for them. Of course the computers are coming on Wednesday and I was told last Thursday {ah another miracle to be performed}
So off to the Skool Horst, Clive and I went. Well we waited for the Electrician and waited and waited till he finally arrived.
Now we had to lug a large amount of gear up to the Library which was on the top floor, well why don't we use the lift?
We load the lift and the four of us get in Willy, Electrician, Horst and Clive and travel up to the 1st floor we unload the lift and start back down we get to the bottom when
"CLUNK" and the doors stay shut.
So we use a mobile phone to contact the lift people as the lift doesn't have a phone in it!
Willy; hello I'm stuck in the lift at ...... High School
Phone Girl; Ok anyone with you?
Willy; Yes an electrician and two dogs
Phone Girl; laughing I've never heard of dogs traveling in a lift
Willy; Well you don't expect them to take the stairs when they can take the lift
Phone Girl; No I suppose not, any way I have contacted the lift mechanic and he will be with you shortly.
Willy; Thanks
Meanwhile the dogs are staring intently at the gap where the doors meet waiting for it to open
electrician; This makes the 5th time I have been stuck in a lift
Willy; really?
Electrician; yes and proceeds to tell about the other 4 times
Willy; do you think we can force the doors open?
Electrician; you grab one Ill grab the other
Much grunting and effort as the dogs look on
the doors slide open, all of us exit
Electrician; now you know what its like to be dead
Willy; pardon?
Electrician; yes, to be shut up in a box before your time.
